Thank you for your encouragement. You know, I hadn't noticed that my attitude has improved much, but I have noticed that my emotional state has stabilized. I am definitely happier and crying less. So, a galaxy-sized THANKS to you and all of the people who post advice and their stories. This has been one of the most important phases of personal growth in my life. The impact of you fine people and my gratitude to you all is difficult to match with mere words.
S&A, I have to mention... Part of why Baggy and DQ and others make such a strong impact is because they share their own stories. They don't just give advice and evaluate and help others. They contribute their very real lives and their very real selves to the mix. There is a give and take... we're all helping each other over the proverbial wall. I haven't seen much of *you*, and I don't know much about your situation. Perhaps it is because I'm too new here. For what it's worth, please know that I am most interested in getting to know you better. The posts you make are reflective of someone who is wise and of great depth and intelligence. Of course, I respect your choice to refrain for whatever reason and I won't be *too* disappointed. Whatever you choose to contribute will always be relished!
